-------------------------- XYZ v. 2.0 Quick Reference -------------------------- You should have the following files: XYZ.TTP The program itself XYZ.TXT Full documentation READ_ME.TXT This file Here it is at last -- XYZ with uploading! XYZ v. 2.0 is shareware. If you use it, please contribute. I suggest $10. Send contributions, along with any other comments, to: Alan Hamilton 6202 N. 16th St. #202 Phoenix, AZ 85016-1734 I can also be reached on the GEnie network at A.HAMILTON1 or STARFALL. If you are familiar with XYZ version 1, downloading works exactly the same with version 2. The only differences are that XYZ now estimates the file transfer time with YMODEM and ZMODEM (if possible), and it handles filenames not compatible with the ST better. The estimation assumes that that file will be sent with 100% utilization of the phone line. In reality, due to slow response times, errors, etc., the actual transfer time will be longer. If you are using a high speed modem that uses flow control, the transfer times won't be correct unless you use the -b option. Version 2 also has a "second chance save" feature for when you get a disk error saving a file. See XYZ.TXT for information on all of the new features. Command line examples: No options means do a ZMODEM download to the current default folder c:\download Do a ZMODEM download to the DOWNLOAD folder on drive C -y Do a YMODEM download to the default folder -y c:\download Do a YMODEM download to the DOWNLOAD folder on drive C -x file1.arc Do a XMODEM download of FILE1.ARC to the default folder (a filename must always be used with XMODEM) To upload, put -u on the command line, along with the filename or filenames (up to ten) to be uploaded. They may contain wildcards, and all files that match a wildcard pattern will be sent. Examples: -u e:\uploads\*.* Do a ZMODEM upload of all files in the UPLOADS folder -u afile.txt Do a ZMODEM upload of AFILE.TXT that's in the default folder -u *.* Do a ZMODEM upload of all files in the default folder NOTE: If this is the folder XYZ.TTP is in, it will send itself, so watch out. xyz -y -u e:\uploads\*.ARC Send all ARC files in the UPLOADS folder using YMODEM XMODEM can only send one file. If you use wildcards, only the first file that matches will be sent. xyz -x -u afile.txt Send AFILE.TXT from the default folderusing XMODEM xyz -x1k -u a:\bfile.txt Send BFILE.TXT from the root directory on drive A using XMODEM with 1k blocks If you have any problems, run XYZ with the -vlog.txt command, and send me the LOG.TXT file, along with any comments you may have. I can be reached as A.HAMILTON1 or STARFALL on GEnie.
